During the intermission, the TV showed a comparison of the data of the key players of the two sides.

Because the popularity has remained high during this period, the TV station selected Lu Xiao as the representative player of Liaocheng Moonlight.

In the first half, Lu Xiao touched the ball a total of 32 times, shot nine times, and hit the goal frame four times.

Judging from this data, Lu Xiao's performance is actually quite satisfactory.But as a competitive sport based on teamwork, the data of players in football matches cannot represent everything!
Moreover, judging from the key statistics, Lu Xiao's performance is not worthy of the starting striker of a league runner-up team like Liaocheng Moonlight.

Zero goals, zero assists, zero passes...

Throughout the first half, Lu Xiao left the audience with the impression of losing the ball, running mindlessly, and being selfish!The more he touches the ball, the more he is in the eyes of fans, and the more impressed the audience is with his poor performance.

After returning to the locker room, Lu Xiao, who knew that his first show failed, leaned against the wall in a daze, and Mu Weiping, who finally entered the locker room, looked at him without saying a word.

After the first half, the master and apprentice both reflected on their hearts, and both vaguely realized their mistakes.

Mu Weiping knew that his reason was replaced by anger, and he made two mistakes that should not have been made.

First, under the pressure from the outside world and the upper echelons, even if he suspected that Lu Xiao was the cause of all this, he shouldn't let Lu Xiao start because of anger.He should withstand the pressure and tell Lu Xiao with practical actions who is the person with the most say in the team.Young people have made mistakes. As a head coach, he should use strict measures to recover from such mistakes, instead of breaking the pot in frustration and leaving the opportunity to punish young people to the cruel reality.

Second, since he let Lu Xiao start, he should correct his attitude and treat Lu Xiao in a peaceful way, instead of expressing anger and anger, adding to Lu Xiao's psychological burden.

Lu Xiao also knew he made a mistake.Although he didn't know the specific statistics, he knew that he was too eager for success, and like the match with Tang Song four years ago, he lost his characteristics.

But knowing a mistake is not the same as being able to easily admit it.In front of the whole team, it is difficult for these two to bow to each other.Mu Weiping is the coach, it is impossible for him to let go of his majesty just because he takes care of Lu Xiao.Lu Xiao has a tough personality, and the words to apologize for his performance in the first half had already reached his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

There was a 15-minute intermission. Mu Weiping was silent, and Lu Xiao was also silent. They were all waiting, waiting for time to give them courage, and looking forward to the other party taking that step first.

Waiting is the most test of patience.As the coach of the team, it is obviously impossible for Mu Weiping to give Lu Xiao enough time to correct his mentality.What he is responsible for is the team's performance and the dozen or so starters of the entire team.

"How did you play in the first half!" Before Lu Xiao could speak, Mu Weiping could only say in a low voice: "I said before the game that this game should be simple, and we should spend more time in the opponent's space." Looking for opportunities! What did you guys do for me! Passing the ball is not crisp enough, coordination is not concise enough, running is not smart enough, these things, haven’t we practiced them before!”

The problem Mu Weiping mentioned was not aimed at Lu Xiao, but the entire team.As the last game of the whole season, he could see that the players' mentality was a bit slack. Lu Xiao was not the only one who performed poorly in the first half, so Mu Weiping had to be strict and make everyone nervous in the second half.

This is also Mu Weiping's consistent style. The score did not meet expectations. He never blames a certain player individually, but hopes that the players will collectively adjust their status.

Lu Xiao, who has been on the roster all season, should be very familiar with this kind of midfield speech.But he, who didn't play before, is more of a bystander's mentality.Occasionally, he would laugh at the starting players in his heart, confidently thinking that when he played, he would never let Mu Weiping lose his temper at halftime.

But when he experienced it personally and felt ashamed in his heart, Mu Weiping's words changed completely.

Lu Xiao is a responsible person. Since he knew he was not playing well, he had already decided to take responsibility for the team's failure to lead alone.At this time, if Mu Weiping blamed him directly, or scolded him directly, he would feel much better.But Mu Weiping didn't say a word about his mistakes, as if his role in the team was irrelevant, which made Lu Xiao feel ashamed.

Therefore, when the other players bowed their heads obediently, Lu Xiao, who was suffocating, suddenly said, "I haven't practiced much."

He really didn't practice much.In order to keep the players who will appear on the field in good condition, Mu Weiping will strictly distinguish between the starters and the substitutes in the usual confrontation training.Since he didn't intend to let Lu Xiao start, Mu Weiping used him more as a training partner in the past week.Therefore, Lu Xiao was not making trouble unreasonably.

But his childish behavior seemed unusually abrupt at this moment.All the players were shocked by his faint words, secretly looking at Mu Weiping out of the corner of their eyes.

The same is true for Ma Jun. Although he lowered his head, he did not let go of the change of expression on Mu Weiping's face.Seeing the way Mu Weiping's mouth trembled after being contradicted by Lu Xiao, he was indescribably excited.

Using the media to create momentum and stir up the support of blindly obedient fans, the stupid management thought they were wise enough to make a decision that "follows public opinion", thus making Lu Xiao successfully enter the starting lineup.This series of operations is to create an irreparable gap between Mu Weiping and Lu Xiao.

Because before that, "Daily Football News" compared Lu Xiao and Tang Song to twin stars, which had already planted a thorn in Lu Xiao's heart.In order to prevent Tang Song from catching up, Lu Xiao will definitely be crazily eager to score goals and crazily pursue personal performance in the game.With this mentality, Lu Xiao will definitely be extremely impatient and behave in a mess during the game.

And the more he is like this, the more disappointed Mu Weiping, who has to put him in the starting lineup, will be with him.Feeling Mu Weiping's disappointment, Lu Xiao will be more eager to prove himself.This vicious circle will make the two more and more alienated.

It is impossible for Ma Jun to directly benefit from this matter, but when Lu Xiao no longer respects Mu Weiping as much as before, Lu Xiao, who has no support in the team, has to find new spiritual comfort.At that time, who was more suitable than Ma Jun?

That's right, Lu Xiao used to disdain to be with him, but Lu Xiao is a young man, a very lonely, innocent young man with great ambitions, he needs the approval of others very much.As long as Ma Jun fulfills his simple wish, even if Lu Xiao still looks down on Ma Jun, he will still regard Ma Jun as a close friend in his heart.

And when the best players of the young generation of the team no longer oppose Ma Jun, who else in this team will defy Ma Jun?At that time, Ma Jun's position in the team will no longer be threatened, and he can get what he wants.Mu Weiping is just a puppet.

Of course, Ma Jun did not come up with such a complicated poisonous plan, but designed and implemented it with the helper he secretly found.

"Xie Jianlin... is indeed the most skilled person in the football circle..." Ma Jun muttered in his heart.

The person who helped him was the football agent Xie Jianlin who had bumped his nose several times in front of Tang Song!

Only Xie Jianlin, who is good at manipulating people's hearts and has close relations with various media, can implement such a huge plan.And the smooth progress of this plan also caused Ma Jun, who benefited from it, to shiver unavoidably.

With this method, Xie Jianlin didn't know how many players he would suck blood from.And it is absolutely impossible for him to help Ma Jun for no reason.So, what is that person up to?

Ma Jun looked away from Mu Weiping's face, and glanced at Lu Xiao again.He knew that Xie Jianlin was probably after Lu Xiao.This made him feel a little sympathetic to this young player who didn't even know how to hide his emotions.

"Haven't practiced much?"

Sure enough, Lu Xiao's complaints in front of everyone made Mu Weiping furious.No matter how much he loves Lu Xiao, it is impossible to laugh off this sentence in the locker room.

"Since you haven't practiced, what are you doing sitting here!" Mu Weiping walked up to Lu Xiao who was sitting on the bench, and asked condescendingly.His face was distorted, and only the player he admired the most would make him feel so uncomfortable.

Not training with the starters shouldn't be an excuse, because Lu Xiao's poor performance in the first half was not due to lack of understanding with other players, but because he didn't want to cooperate with others at all.This is a quality that players should have, and it doesn't need to be practiced.

"I'm sitting here because I have a contract with the team, and because I'm a player of this team!" Lu Xiao said without showing any weakness, raising his head.

"Since you know you are a player, you should listen to my arrangement seriously!" Mu Weiping became more and more excited.

"Why didn't I listen?" Lu Xiao sneered, "You let me sit on the bench and I will sit, you let me substitute and I will substitute, you let me start and I will start, the whole team, your word is the imperial decree, how dare I Do not listen!"

"You!" Mu Weiping clenched his fists angrily, staring at Lu Xiao, almost bursting into flames.

Lu Xiao also stared at Mu Weiping. After four years of waiting, Lu Xiao's heart was filled with countless barriers, and now he wanted to vent it out all at once!
Ma Jun rolled his eyes, and while winking at Kong Xiang, he separated the two and persuaded: "Mourinho, Lu Xiao is young and impulsive, don't care about him like him. The team didn't score, don't say he feels bad, We also felt bad. There were [-] people on the field, and it was not his fault that he didn't score a goal. As the big brother in the team, I was also at fault."

"Lao Ma is right. In terms of responsibility, as a member of the national team, I have a greater responsibility." Kong Xiang understood, followed up, and intentionally changed the name of Ma Jun.

"No! It's my responsibility. I will definitely score in the second half!" Lu Xiao jumped up and shouted loudly: "I want to show you that I, Lu Xiao, can bring a game to the team even if I am alone. victory!"

"you alone?"

After Ma Jun's persuasion, Mu Weiping also remembered that this was Lu Xiao's first start. It is normal to behave badly and be emotional. When he was about to calm down and rearrange his tactics, the corner of his mouth twitched again when he heard Lu Xiao being so arrogant. up.

"Okay! Then I want to see how good a player is who doesn't listen to the coach's arrangement!" Mu Weiping kicked the table leg in the middle of the locker room.

The loud sound of "bang" is like rolling thunder before the rainstorm.

"Sure enough, the sky is about to change..." Kong Xiang sighed inwardly.

He looked at Ma Jun with joy in his eyes, and couldn't help being a little timid.He had wanted to stop the changes that Lu Xiao's ascension might bring to the team, but he didn't expect the changes to come so quickly.However, under the manipulation of some people with ulterior motives, it became another change.

This football...it's not a ball, it's a person.Kong Xiang was suddenly a little tired.The dual status of the club and the national team makes his experience richer than others.But the richer he is, the less he can understand the football circle.
